Design West 2013 -- Call for papers

The deadline for paper submissions for Design West 2013 is almost upon us.

Eeeek! The deadline for paper submissions for Design West 2013 is almost upon us!

Design West 2013 will be held 22 – 25 April 2013 at the McEnery Convention Center, San Jose, California. In addition to the world-famous Embedded Systems Conference (ESC), Design West will also feature a veritable cornucopia of other design summits.

There are going to be bunch of conference tracks as shown below (note especially the Tech Fundies track – this is the ideal place to explain fundamental concepts):

Tech Fundies

Connectivity and networking

Debugging and test

Development boards, systems and applications

Hardware: Design, I/O, and Interfacing

Low-Power design

Processors and Programmable Logic

Programming

Prototyping

RTOS and OS

Safety, security & hacking embedded systems

Systems

Ha Ha! I can hear you asking "Why is the Processors and Programmable Logic track highlighted?" Well, that's because yours truly is the track chair for this little rascal.

The thing is that the deadline to submit papers for Design West is 2 November, 2013, which is TOMORROW as I pen these words.

STOP THE PRESSES!!! I just heard that the deadline has been extended by a week -- so that gives us all just a little more breathing room -- but not much...

So, if you have something you would like to share with the rest of us, this would be a really good time to submit an abstract for a paper. I personally just submitted two abstracts of my own for the Tech Fundies track:
